I would like to list what instances of SQL 2005 Server (Express Editon) are installed on local or remote machine (my app is in Native C++). I found that i can make it by SQLDMO, however it seems that SQLDMO does not see SQL 2005 Express Edition and call to ListAvailableSqlServers returns empty list.
How can i make it? Playing with system registry is an extreme solution and applies only for local machines.
